Re: Working on the Shatnez
Dear
Friends,
I
just spoke with Dr. Callahan again. I asked him some questions about the
I just spoke with
Philip Callahan. We swapped tales for
about half an hour and agreed that his paramagnetic soils are probably the same
as our ORMUS materials. He has seem
superconductive behavior in the paramagnetic materials, he has seen viscous
water effects and he said that the Cooper pairing phenomena made complete
sense.
He mentioned that he
is 76 years old and that he cured himself of lung cancer using a wool/linen sea
water compress on his chest. He claims
that this thing was called a Shatnez by the Hebrew high priests and was worn
only by them except in the case of illness when common folks were allowed to
wear it.
He said that wood ash
is highly paramagnetic. This is why
soil is so fertile after fire. I noted
that wood ash is a good source for lye which is used to fix the ORMUS
elements. He said that the Shatnez is
also referred to as sackcloth and ashes.

Dear Barry,
I admire your ability
to ferret out information.
I do have one of the
Callahan design mag susceptibility meters. I will do some testing and let the
group know the results- time allowing in-between earning an income.
The Shatnez is a
multilayered pad of hemp cloth soaked in sea water, and enclosed in a plastic
bag, which concentrates Schumann resonance near the body. His PICRAM measures
this quite easily. The earths atmosphere Schumann resonance is the same
frequency pattern as the electrical
activity in the human brain, alpha, beta etc. Surely no co-incidence.
I would be pleased
for you to liaise actively with him on this. I sent him some ORME tape material
a couple of years ago but he was probably too busy to respond.
(With another family,
our family sponsored a 4 state Callahan tour of Australia in 1994, focusing on
enhancing paramagnetism in soils for better food cropping etc).
He is a good source
of insights into the workings of nature, especially in the area of vitality.
Plug into him. Ask him about the monopoles etc. His genius in the design of
simple experiments that show profound principles, eg the emery paper tower
experiment with radish. He has a very sound physics background.
By the way,
Paracelsus used radish by slicing it and adding sea salt to draw the juice. This
juice he made his famous 'oil of salt'. Radish is a target of mine sometime for
the wet chemical method. Perhaps if radish is full of ORMES then it is
particularly responsive to Callahan's mini tower, which gathers the 'magnetic'
radiation from the cosmos.
As to the theory of
the ORMES being diamagnetic etc, it is a theory. There is no substitute for
field work. Time will tell.

I found the following

"The recent
research by Dr. Phil Callahan on paramagnetism may prove to be a factor. From
this it can be seen that organic has advantages for the humus factor and
biological activity. On the other, natural rock powders derived from
paramagnetic origin may be critical to establish a weak charge. The magnetism
created thus influences mineral uptake and plant health. The PCSM Meter is
available for anybody to see for themselves differences in depleted soils and
healthy soils. Originally developed for the mining industry at $6,000, it is
now available to farmers thru Pike Lab Supplies for $400. To my knowledge it
has not been taken up by any land-grants as yet as a research topic; though
Callahan himself spent 30 years as a USDA-ARS Entomologist before retiring to
compile his monumental book "Paramagnetism" published by Acres, U.S.A."

I have written to
Pike asking for more information on Callahan's testing
device.
This device is
described at:
http://members.tripod.com/~poetpiet/guest_appearances/paramagnetism.htm
Here is a cleaned up
version of the description from that page:
FLOWER POT FARM
EXPERIMENT
Take two plastic
flower pots. Fill both with potting soil from the same bag. One pot should be
left plain. In the other pot, place a paramagnetic stone or sandpaper model of
a round tower (15 to 60, proportion of diameter to height) and place it in the
middle of a plastic (non-paramagnetic) flower pot. Take a pack of garden radish
seeds and plant them 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep, about 3 or 4 seeds per hole, around
the pots. Water each day with the exact same measured amount of water. After
eight days of 70-80_ growing temperature, pull them up and weigh the root's
"held in place" soil. The astonishing results demonstrate plant
control by the paramagnetic force. Note how the roots and soil mimics the
energy force pattern of a man-made radio station (based on weight).
Please note, I do not
ask my reader to believe what I say, but I do ask them to see for themselves.
Author's note: Two high school students in science fairs won local and state
awards for experiments based on this work utilizing paramagnetism.
BEAMS
Belleek radio range.
Patterns secured due to presence of course-bending antennae. The ELF growth
pattern force of energy focused into the ground by the paramagnetic soil, round
towers, or rock can be easily plotted by planting radish seeds around the rock,
round tower, or in veil mixed with ground up rock.
In this red sandstone
tower example it will be noted that the tower is oriented with the door facing
95_ east toward the rising sun in mid- September in Gainesville, Florida . In
such a system, the least energy is to the east resulting in slow growth and
small plant size and the greatest energy is to the west producing fast growth
end large plant size . Side growth is intermediate. Such a plot based on plant
size end root-dirt weight at an eight day harvest, is very similar to plots of
energy from my World War II radio range station in Belleek. The largest root
growth, with the most fine rootlets, is at top left to the west of the round
tower. The smallest is at 95_east at the lower right of the photo. The north
growth at the top right is slightly smaller than the south growth at bottom
left.
Note from compass
that the strongest growth is to the east at 95_, in contrast to tower and tomb
plantings. The higher growth rate and root complex is always off the sharp
corner of such highly paramagnetic rocks. I first noticed this growth effect
while climbing cliffs and searching rock canyons for eagle and falcon nests as
a youth.
Note energy is weak
at front entrance and strong along the sides end rear. This model is of a
Vermont megalithic stone structure. Constructed of diamagnetic wood interior
and paramagnetic pink granite exterior.
It appears that most healing/religious structures such as gothic
cathedrals, round towers, and megalithic tombs are facing east so that the week
energy is at the entrance and the strong energy is at the back where the altar
of hearing chamber is located. There is also stronger energy at the sides,
where the arms of the tomb cross the main tunnel as seen in gothic cathedrals.
PICRAM, Photonic Ionic Cloth Radio Amplifier Maser, is my name for the patent
(No. 5,247,933) I obtained for my ELF (extremely low frequency) antenna
detector. As you can see from the bottom photo, it is mounted directly on the
Tekmeter oscilloscope input with no lead. On the 5 mV range, it accurately measures
ELF atmospheric waves generated by lightning which are detectable even
underground in soil. These waves stimulate plant root growth.
The PICRAM is
constructed by soaking wool-linen cloth or burlap in seawater. In the top
photograph, the cloth is connected to a simple banana plug at the corner end
wrapped around the plastic of the plug where it is held in place by two rubber
bands.
Harry Kornburg, my
patent co-author, translated the Hebrew which describes such a piece of cloth
worn by the Jewish High Priest. It enhanced his immune system in order that he
could safely examine lepers like those sent to him by Christ. The bible is by
far the best science book for low energy systems ever written. The Hebrew name
for my PICRAM ELF detector is Shatnez. It was worn as a long ribbon strap
wrapped around the high priest's body. (See Appendix II for copy of patent).

Subject: Working on the Shatnez
Greetings all.
I've been doing some
research on the shatnez, the wool-and-flax healing cloth that Philip Callahan
has patented as a "Photonic-Ionic Cloth Radio Amplifier" for use on
the human skin. I'm happy to report that I've found a source for the untreated,
handspun fibers I need to do the weaving, and I hope to have a finished PICRAM
to test in the very near future.
In the meantime, here
is a very interesting bit of infomation about the idea of Shatnez in Jewish
religious practice today. Barry suggested I share it with the forum. It comes
from a column called "Ask the Rabbi," which I found at
http://www.ohr.org.il/ask/ask055.htm.
-----------------------
Here is what
"Ask the Rabbi" has to say:
The Torah states that
it is forbidden to wear a garment which contains wool and linen. Many
commentaries cite this commandment as an example of a "chok" - a
statute - a mitzvah that has no readily evident reason. Our observance of this
type of mitzvah shows our belief in G-d and His Torah even though we do not
understand everything. We realize that not everything is in our grasp, and
nonetheless we adhere to all of the Torah. However, if one researches this
subject, one comes across various reasons suggested for this prohibition.
Maimonides explains
that it was customary for priests of religions which practiced Avodah Zara
(idol worship) to wear special garments made out of wool & linen. He adds
that even in his time the priests in Egypt wore this type of clothing.
The Rosh says that
the Parochet - a separating curtain used in the Temple - was made from wool and
linen, and the Torah did not want us to wear anything similar to the holy
Parochet. This is similar to the prohibition against making an exact
replication of the Ketoret (incense) not for the purpose of the Temple service.
He cites another
interesting reason: Cain killed Abel as an outcome of these two species. Cain
offered flax-linen and Abel brought an offering from his "woolly"
sheep. We are therefore instructed not to join those two types of material as a
constant reminder of this incident -- and will thereby take care not to cause
separation and hate between people.
The Zohar
(Kabbalistic work) teaches that the Biblical word for this combination,
"Shatnez," can be separated into two words "Satan Az,"
meaning "the Satan is strong." The Zohar also states that when
someone wears Shatnez an "evil spirit" lurks within him, just as in
the time of Cain & Abel where the fusion of these two products brought
tragedy and calamity.
----------------------------------------
So you see, even this
scholarly rabbi has no real idea of the origin of the shatnez stricture. To my
mind, this whole matter is suggestive of a power taboo, similar to those
deliberately misleading statements made by alchemists to deflect casual
interest.
Further reading on
the internet reveals that the stricture is still taken seriously today by
observant Jews. In major Jewish population centers like Jerusalem and New York,
there is an industry devoted to analyzing commercially made clothing and
declaring it "not shatnez," which would be roughly the sartorial
equivalent of kosher.
So what do you
suppose would happen if you took a dip in the Dead Sea wearing an old-fashioned
"linsey-woolsey" bathing costume? Instant ascension or what?

Dear Barry, Kevin
& all --
I've taken it upon
myself to go "ask the rabbi" about this Shatnez thing, and here is
what I found (on-line -- where else?)
Orthodox Judaism defines *Shatnez* as a garment made of sheep's wool and
linen (flax), just as Callahan's curative sea water compress was made
from. However (and here is the weird
part) the wearing of such a garment made of these two fabrics combined, or
attached permanently to each other (such as a coat and lining), is forbidden by
the Torah. So according to my findings,
*Shatnez* is not something which is viewed favorably.
Here is another
strange twist: Maimonides explained
that it was customary for priests of religions which practiced *Avodah Zara*
(idol worship) to wear special garments made out of wool and linen; even in his
time the priests in Egypt wore this type of clothing. Curiously, however, the *Parochet* -- the separating curtain used
in the Temple -- was known to be made from wool and linen; the Torah evidently
did not want the people to wear anything similar to the holy *Parochet*
either. I found nothing (yet)
mentioning soaking the fabric in sea water or referencing it to "sackloth
and ashes."
At any rate, Philip
Callahan's discoveries and experiments sound extremely fascinating. Perhaps there is some closely guarded,
esoteric knowledge attached to the linen/wool combination which has been lost
through the ages, and it was for this reason -- and not the more apparently
"superstitious" reasons -- that it was prohibited for casual and
public use. Now I am REALLY curious and
would love to know WHERE Callahan has gotten the information regarding the
Hebrew priests wearing this garment and using it to cure illness in ancient
times -- especially since even the Zohar condemns it!

Dr. Philip Callahan,
who in his early years tested chemical biocides for the US Department of
Agriculture, noticed an interesting phenomena almost fifty years ago. Dr.
Callahan noticed that certain soils were paramagnetic. Paramagnetic means that
they have slight magnetic properties. Dr. Callahan also discovered that
paramagnetic soils were much more productive in relation to the strength of
their measured paramagnetic properties. The most paramagnetic soils were those
which contained a high portion of volcanic or limestone based minerals.
Dr. Callahan
postulated that paramagnetic soils provided a better electromagnetic connection
between the atmosphere and the plants growing on these soils. He also noticed another phenomena, certain
agricultural fields in Ireland and other countries had cylindrical stone
structures which seemed to promote the growth of plants in certain portions of
the circle around these structures.
Dr. Callahan got lung
cancer in the early 1990s, probably as a result of his exposure to agricultural
chemicals as a young scientist working for the USDA. Using his knowledge of
paramagnetic forces, Dr. Callahan developed a treatment for his cancer which
was so successful that when he went back to his doctor, his doctor said that he
must have been misdiagnosed and could not have had lung cancer because the form
of lung cancer that he was diagnosed with was invariably fatal.
Dr. Callahan is now
75. He has been cancer free for over five years. His cure was what he calls
"sackcloth and ashes". He has patented this product. The patent can be found at:
http://www.patents.ibm.com/details?pn=US05247933__&language=en
An excerpt from one
of Dr. Callahan's books can be found at:
http://members.tripod.com/
poetpiet/guest_appearances/paramagnetism.htm
Dr. Callahan claims
that what cured his cancer was known in ancient Israel as the
"shatnez". Here is Dr. Callahan's description of the shatnez:
"The PICRAM is
constructed by soaking wool-linen cloth or burlap in seawater. In the top
photograph, the cloth is connected to a simple banana plug at the corner and
wrapped around the plastic of the plug where it is held in place by two rubber
bands.

Subject: Re: What counts? [was: Sounds]
Dear Anne,
Thanks for your
lovely post.
Philip Callahan told
me that he recovered from lung cancer by using something called a
"shatnez" as a compress on his chest. The shatnez consists of a cloth
made of flax and wool. Here is Dr. Callahan's description of this cloth from
his patent:
"Photonic cloths
is constructed as a plain weave, comprising warp yarns made of flax and weft or
filling yarns made of wool. Each warp yarn is a single yarn, while each filling
yarn consists of three smaller yarns combined to form a single yarn. The flax
used to form yarns is natural and untreated... Similarly, the weft yarns should
be made of natural, untreated wool. Thus both the flax and wool should be
unblended and unwashed so that the lanolin remains on the wool, and the waxy
outer layer remains on the flax. The natural flax acts as a dielectric wave
guide (i.e. it's photonic) due to its waxy characteristics. Although one yarn
of flax is sufficient as warp yarns, experiments have shown that two or more
yarns in combination will also detect and generate the 1000 Hz and 10,000 Hz
sideband frequencies.
The photonic cloth
can be any size. However, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention,
cloth is approximately two inch by six inch to six inch by fifteen inch."
Since the patent
described a piece of cloth which is used as a detector I would imagine that the
shatnez cloth that Dr. Callahan used was probably a bit larger to cover his
chest.
I believe that I recall that you do a bit of weaving. How difficult is it to get the natural, unwashed wool and flax that is used in the shatnez? If one had some of this would it be difficult to spin and weave these two materials into a cloth? Might you be interested in doing this?
Phil: Well, I cured my boy's arthritis with paramagnetism. I cured my own lung cancer with this force. Lower back pain is easy to cure with it.
Graeme: Tell me about it - I've suffered lower back pain for years!
Phil: Well, my book "Ancient Histories, Modern Visions"; covers this a little. One chapter is about how to make a shatnez. Shatnez is an old Hebrew word. I found out from the Rabbis that the high priests used to wear this piece of cloth called a shatnez. The high priest would wrap this cloth around himself. The high priest was a doctor and he had to spend time helping the lepers. He had to have a good immune system to survive. I figured that maybe this garment is part of a healing system. The Irish take the halter of a donkey, which is drenched in sweat. They wrap this around arthritic joints, with great results. The cloth the priests used was woven with wool one way and linen the other way. The American pioneers used to call the same cloth Linsy-Woolsy. The Hebrews call it shatnez. It is arguably the best cloth ever invented. It retains moisture really well, but it also dries really quickly. If you wet it, it stays damp forever, but if you want it dry and put it in the sun, it dries in a hurry. So it makes a good cloth and it's great for soaking up sweat. I made a vest of this material and I soaked it in seawater to mimic sweat. I found out that you don't necessarily even need Linsy-Woolsy. My wife made me a vest out of a burlap sack. I soaked it in seawater and wrapped it in plastic cling wrap to retain the moisture. I used to wear this damp vest over a T-shirt to keep the plastic away from my body. When I was diagnosed with lung cancer, it was the cornerstone of my own treatment regime. I spent five years evaluating the damage done with herbicides and pesticides, and I'm sure there was a link to the cancer. Anyway, I also took garlic every day and ate a tablespoon of highly paramagnetic dirt each day. The tumor shrank and I cured myself. I also made one of these vests for my wife for her arthritis. Her persistent lower back pain disappeared in a week and a half. Then she put it on her shoulder, which had arthritis, and it was also cured. So far I've cured 15 people with arthritis with this one vest. The last chapter of my new book was to describe how to make this vest, but I just told you instead. There are two chapters planned for the next book. One is about the pattern for this cloth and how to make it, and the second one is
